They should have released the demo tape. It's better than the final version of the album.

I'd love to hear it, where can that happen?

I don't know. It was sent to me. I'm sure it is out in cyberspace somewhere.

Somewhere in the cybersea?

 

I will search with my high-speed Wi-Fi.

I stopped after 40 seconds. Is the whole thing garbled and echoey and fluctuaty?

Looks like Caress of Steel is going down the tubes.

 

We'll catch Power Windows next round. Serves Rush right for not releasing the demo as is. :laughing guy:

 

Going after FBN next :madra: You all spared me the effort of going after HYF.

Nah, time for the other Fogelbergian effort to go...

It gets a little better after about 5 minutes. I skipped forward a bit, but it's a pretty poor recording.

Since COS is going to be out.

 

I WILL CHARGE WITH HEMISPHERES TO VICTORY

 

Hemispheres makes us all winners. :)

I went with Fly By Night at this point. It's as inconsistent as A Farewell to Kings, without anything near the epicness of Xanadu.

 

Speaking of farewells...adieu to our beloved Caress of Steel. Perfect tone and timeless guitar riffs just aren't everyone's cup of tea, I guess.

 

For the coalition...

Screw everyone voting for power windows, that is a technical masterpiece of writing. Every song on that album has the perfect blend of unique chord structures, varied instrumentation, and catchy hooks.

I like Power Windows well enough, but it does have some cheese on it. Not even real cheese, more like processed cheese in a can. Synths, I tell you. I like Grand Designs, but that opening - WEEEner-neener-neener-neener-neener-neener-neener-NEEEner. It's like The Spirit of Radio riff played on a toy keyboard, or something.

Have you ever thought that the intro was intentional to compliment the lyrics. Since the song is about "Style without substance, and stuff without style" That keyboard riff that repeats throughout represents the onslaught of 80s pop songs using repeated melodies like that.

Next round will be a tough call. A few more hours prior to poll close.

 

GUP, FBN or POW ?

 

But all this "real music" talk is a bunch of crap.

 

As soon as you rely upon electronic signal processing (amplification, reverb, echo, wah etc) to create your supposedly organic music, youre basically using the same concept as a synth to create the sound you want to get heard.

Fly By Night's the next target. Save Power Windows!

PoW must go!

There's two versions of it. I don't know which one he posted. The one I listened to is not garbled or echoey.
